Interesting article. But if it is considered work to tear toilet paper on the Sabbath, isn't it also work to actually use the toilet paper - even if it was pre-torn back on Christmas Eve?
I always did wonder how the tradition started for the Jews to eat chinese food on Christmas. Why chinese food?
It is a tradition in my family to eat chinese food on New Year's Eve. In fact, I cannot imagine a New Year's Eve without fried rice, teriyaki beef, sweet & sour pork, egg rolls and enough scorpion bowls to make my head spin.

Why chinese food? Until recently here in Toronto, the only restaurants open after 8pm Christmas Eve were the Chinese places.
